"Leaving Fernworthey for another day, we return to Chagford, past Castor, stepping aside to climb it and to examine the great rock basin on the top: the latter is eight feet across, and two deep, and is so often willed with water that it has a railing round it to prevent the sheep from falling in. It was discovered by the late Mr. G. W. Ormerod, who found it full of turf. What a delight it would have been to Mr. and Mrs. Bray with their Druidical tenets. It is the largest rock basin on the moor, and would have held sufficient water for the lustrations of a whole college of Druids."
